    Hi! just wondering, what does the red thing mean? when i try to make a sand hawk in gibbed the bar turns red, does that mean it does not work or something?

  2. MihMih says:

    I can not add the gun from the last DLC: they simply do not appear in my inventory after prescribing them through the editor. DLC installed.

  3. dead man says:

    is there any way to make mission items in our inventory?

    • machin3X7 says:

      Don’t think so, at least not changing the parts: I think the guns are loaded in-game when it detects that you’re at a certain point in the mission. However, if you want your lower leveled buddy to be able to use a lvl 61 grog nozzle, just change that one mission from claptrap into an active state.

    • Ceasar says:

      yea u can make mission items in ur inventory u just have to know wat kinda gun it was and who is manufacture then everything els will fall in place.the only thing is wen u make the gun it wont b anywere near as powerful as ur other guns u have regardless of the level u make it.

  5. shnne says:

    Hey, can a modded save file (level 50) level up when I buy the level cap DLC? Cause I’ve been playing with my modded save in UVHM and I don’t think I’m leveling up at all. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I’d appreciate a response either way. Thanks!

  6. bigmech02 says:

    I received the following:
    There were items in the backpack that failed to load. Doyou want remove them?
    If you choose not to remove them, they will remain in your save but will not be editable.
    Choose Cancel to copy error information to clipboard.
    Yes No Cancel

  7. Wu says:

    Just like many of you, I can’t upload a save into gibbed when I extract it from Horizon. I used Modio 5 and was able to upload my saves into gibbed, but when I try to inject the file back into my USB from Modio, it resets everything. Help please?

    • machin3X7 says:

      Your xbox is probably loading the backup file. Upon finding this out, your first instinct is to delete it. DON’T do that. Instead, after changing the contents of the file and saving the change, Click up to the first screen you were shown when opening the save in Modio. Should be a square button there saying something like “Save over E0000123456789.” Click that. After it works its magic, safely eject the flash drive and load it up on your xbox. It should work.

  8. g4m3rssunired says:

    wont open or save any of my files ?!?!?!?!?!?!

  9. Ordway says:

    every time I try to download the save editor, I click run to install all the stuff, and it comes up with “the program contained a virus and was deleted” why does it do this on every link? 🙁 frustrating!

  10. After i download it and i create a shortcut i cant actually open the save editor it shows its loading but nothing opens!???? can anyone help?

    • Ceasar says:

      ok once u dl the save editor after u unzip it DONT take anything out of the folder that shows the handsome jack face,read me text or license revision or assemblies .simply highlight all items in the folder and drag them all to a new folder.if u try to create a shortcut with the handsome jack icon or move anything out of the original folder the editor wont open.

    Thank you

  12. Dale says:

    Upon creating my file, it just became “!CORRUPTED!” is there any particular reason for said event?

    • Ceasar says:

      if u get the corrupted msg wen u try to load up in the game then its a gud chance u 4got to re encrypt ur game save b4 u put it back onto ur usb drive.

  13. machin3X7 says:

    You know Rick, I hate that you idiot-proofed this thing and people still find ways to be idiots here.

  14. Link says:

    Hey yall! I am new to this and I am loving it! I have a question that im sure the answer is going to simple…..
    Anytime I mod a gun with something that makes the line have a “!” the item either does NOT show up in the back pack or if I try to mod it to the bank, it shows the item but I cannot select it. Even if I just add something to the accessory #2 line. HELP ME PLEASE

  15. Dan says:

    Hi just wondering if anyone has attempted to/ made this for Mac being that the tool I used to use is now outdated.
    Thanks!!

  16. saschmully says:

    where can we find the prefixes and titles for the gemstone weapons?
    BL2(hwAAAAAVUgmBhgMMBdHraWIgxMCBIQEDIoYHDBUY/v/TIPw=)

    • Talon says:

      I’ve found the easiest way to get proper prefixes and titles for the weapons is to save them in the editor as “None” (without quotes) and the game will automagically give the correct ones as it creates the weapon in your backpack or bank.

  17. Toys0125 says:

    When I try to get more skill points. It won’t give me any. So please help me out here.

  18. Cheyoon says:

    Having the same problem as Toys0125, I add skill points plain and simple (I’ve done it before) but on the game I don’t get any. Has this been patched? There hasn’t been any update though… Thoughts?

    • Gin the Impaler says:

      Go to the raw tab on the save editor, scroll down to the skill data, it shows all for the skills on the character, go to grade point and put it up to five, it should max out the skill, and just go trough all of them and max them out. Hope this helps.

  19. Nes says:

  27. RATCHETNOISE says:

    umm im getting an error message saying not enough information in header and not letting me edit anything

  28. Brad says:

    hi guys, could someone please tell me what the best way to avoid file corruption is? 🙂 im having this problem a lot :/

    • this guy XD says:

      well you could make sure you re encrypt the file ummm make sure you didnt mess with too many things without knowing what to do oh and if you have any serious probs there are forums you can post your save file on and theyll help you ^^

  29. -Frys- says:

    You should make it so modded weapons work outside of the bank and stay in your inventory without being deleted this is accomplished
    by knowing the exact Hex code for a weapon once known you can make the weapon look legit in the code
    Sorry if this is not detailed enough some guy told me this 3 months ago and thats all i remember of it

    • this guy XD says:

      its not really the program you can hex edit it yourself but the game has software that recognizes things that shouldnt be there the only loophole IS the bank if that guy is write he can help alot of people but he has to do it rick cant fix the problem for you because then he would have to go through and make EVERY item every way tat there is and force borderlands to recognize it as legit after doings that he would have to show EVERYONE how to do it all over again its too much work

  30. joeschmo says:

    I am having a problem with my character running slow. any idea why or how to make him run faster?

    • this guy XD says:

      theres a glitch with the commando if you drop your gun and fill your inv now you hoold the button to pick up items and itll swap your gun do that 15 times and youll get super speed XDDD

  31. Mickelangello says:

    Hey there, I have suggestion for next revision of the editor. If you make new character in editor, you can set number of playthroughs completed but it’s quite useless because you have no quests/teleport stations discovered etc. Quests can be edited in “MissionPlaythroughs” manually…but there is more than 200 of them and if you want all of them completed in all 3 playthroughs, it’s pain in ass…seriously, adding so much quests and marking each of them as completed not worth the time spent. Is it possible to add some feature that when you set your playthrough completed e.g. to 2, all previous playthroughs will have all the quests completed and all the teleport stations/maps discovered? I believe many people would appreciate it. Thanks and keep doing good job!

  32. Luke says:

    Hello there. I cannot seem to see any of my save files on the flash drive I’m using. I am opening the FD with the editor, but there is only a file called Xbox360. I could see this file before, and it had files like ‘Data0001’ all the way to ‘Data0008’, nothing else. When I tried opening this file on the editor, it was empty. I still can’t find my save file at all. It is a 68kb file but it’s just. Not. There. Can you offer any support or ideas as to what I’m not doing right? I’m not running on the greatest of computers but it gets the job done. Though I’m only on Windows XP.

    • this guy XD says:

      make sure your files are there before you try to upload them into the editor you’ll also need horizon to decrypt your saves before you can even edit anything good luck mate i know that didnt help but making sure its there first is a big deal lol

  33. ThePaddx says:

    I have a weird bug. I copied my siren and changed the 2nd file to a mecromancer and i start the game and change my char to the mecromancer the siren keeps on the screen.

  37. George says:

    Hey,
    after using gibbed rev. 179 to add the Dahl Efficiency skin to my assassin character, all of the fast travel stations in all of my characters display the options for unassuming docks, badass crater of badassitude, Oasis and Hunter’s Grotto without me having added them through gibbed or downloading the DLC. is there anything I can do to fix this?

  38. AceV says:

    I figured out how to export the save with Modio for all of those who are getting the error when trying to open a save even though you ARE using Modio. I kept getting a file called Save0001.sav that was 68kb and gibbed gave me the error. I played with Modio a bit more for a different way to copy the file and you have to do it this way:

    Go to [Open a Save]
    [USB Stick] or whatever save device you are using
    [Borderlands 2]
    [Your profile name, lvl, location]
    Click [Advanced]
    [Edit Package Contents]
    Right click on [Savegame.sav]
    [Save As…]
    Save it to your computer somewhere
    Open Savegame.sav with Gibbed
    Mine was 11kb
    Right click on the same advanced area (right half of the window) you saved it from in Modio
    [Add File] and replace it when done making changes

  39. AceV says:

    Also, click [Save to *Your random profile path folder name*] in the general tab of Modio after overwriting Savegame.sav in the Advanced tab.

  40. Brad says:

    Is it possible to change the difficulty to Ultime Vault hunter mode, without playing through the True Vault Hunter Mode?
    Help much appreciated! 🙂

  46. MT1994 says:

    Firstly may I see I love this editor I think its brilliant, but if possible would a change from Create new item to Create new Shield/Relic/Class Mod.. etc be possible and also could I have a simple written explanation on how to create a new character and have all 3 play-through’s including side missions and DLC’s completed as this would help me a huge amount.
    But Mainly Thank You for this brilliant piece of software

  47. Matt says:

    My brother recently downloaded this for his Bootcamp version of Windows on his Mac. I tried to do the same thing and was able to download the program and the latest version of .net to run the application. However, all I get is the same error message repeatedly: Gibbed Borderlands 2 Save Editor has stopped working. I know the program works because he’s modded the game and even gotten me a few items :P. If anyone has any idea how I fix this problem please let me know.

    Hi, if i try to edit the infinity pistol into my inventory, it loads in with 0 bullets in the clip. This prevents me from using it.

    • Ryan says:

      If your using Gaige the Mechromancer and have any points in the skill Smaller, Lighter, Faster you can’t use Infinity weapons of any kind as it drops the mag capacity below 100%. If you are not using the Mechromancer than I don’t know.

    Hi Rick & everybody.

    I want to point out I was using Save Editor r146 on the pc successfully up till very recently (a few days ago) – thank you very much for this

    amazing tool!

    I’m now having problems using r179, where my saves wont load in the editor at all. Not sure if it’s correlated with a recent BL2 update on steam I

    had a few days ago. As a precaution, I’ve uninstalled/reinstalled .NET Framework 4 – to no effect.

    Can anyone help – ?

    (further info: I get this error now if i try to use r146 – but this is probably invalid, as it’s outdated)

      HI – just w anted to update my progress in getting r179 working again (For all you guys and girls still struggling with it crashing)

      For the record, I uninstalled an AVG game boost trial I was using, rebooted, then repaired .Net to 4.5.

      Guess what? It works now.

      Good luck and hope this helps someone
